Or did you ever reflect that many, nany times, cousins, either close or listant, have married before you xuld be born into the world? Perhaps not for few, people ever ake the time to th( k of the wonders )f human ancest/ or of it's paraloxes. / Over yonder 14 -fine house on an iristocratic street, lives a very fine ady. Across the other way, down jy the smelly gas plant, in a poor ittle hovel, lives a ragged, unkempt >eggar. It would shock her to know ihe was rather closely related to lim, and astonish him to know that hey had many ancestors in common ar this side of Adam. And yet it is easy to demonstrate hat it could not be otherwise. Geonetrical progression is a funny thing, ifou remember how it worked with :he man who offered to pay a cenl or the first nail, two cents for the lecond, four for the third, and so on intil his horse was shod. And then rom remember bow the boy offered ;o work for a year for one grain al rheat the first day, two the second, four the third, and so on. and how it vould have taken scores of ships tc >arry the wheat wage the farmer had :ontracted to pay him. That same law applies in counting >ur ancestors. We have two parents, 'our grandparents, eight great grand parents, sixteen great great grand parents, and so on. The average generation is thirtj rears long?that is, the average par jnt is thirty years old when th< iverage child is born. On that bash there have been ten generations fron Jamestown and.Plymouth down t< Jur time. In the tenth generatior each of us has 1,024 ancestors. Ir thirty generations, which is the ap proximate number that have comi md gone since William the Conqueroi defeated Harold the Saxon at th< Battle of Hastings, you would hav< more than two billion ancestors i cousins close or distant never mar ried. You would be descended fron more than a billion different famiHe ?Smith, Brown, Jones, etc. Of course you readily see ^at ' would be impossible to have descend ed from so many families, for ther were not that many people in th world in that day, let alone tha many families. So, many are th times that cousins have married i the line of ancestors through whot the breath that God breathed int the nostrils of Adam has come dow to you. Indeed, you can figure out that n matter whom you meet of your ow race, orVhere, he is practically cei tain to be a cousin or yours, aescenae from some common great g-ranc father and grandmother who live this side the Battle of Hastings.

Dr. Royal S.
